True. Note that instead of 'donate' or 'sponsor', I'd prefer to have a link 
to 'support KDE' or 'contribute to KDE', and have it go to a page about more 
than donating. Give quick links to ppl to tweet, like etc on social media 
(bit like this: http://owncloud.org/promote/ ) and a link to our pages on how 
to get involved. In short - it should be about helping out in general.

+1 here, I feel "Support KDE" is the correct wording
